The Good Medicine is a lighthearted romp. Another episode where the Saint is on the hustle. Playing the long con.
Denise (Barbara Murray) is an ambitious woman stuck in Beauvais on the outskirts of Paris. I know how she feels as I have been to Beauvais.
She is engaged to the middle aged pharmacist Phillipe Dumont who runs a small chemist and has an elderly domineering mother.
After the mother dies, Denise and Phillipe get married despite her flirting with his assistant. She persuades Phillipe to make some concoctions of cosmetic products.
A few years later thanks to Phillipe's formulas, Denise has a successful cosmetics business. She no longer needs her husband. She can make do with her lovers. She also keeps the business and the money.
Simon Templar comes to the aid of Phillipe whose health is not too good and he needs money to pay for his medical bills.
A new formula for insect repellent could be just the trick. It certainly arouses Denise's greed as she gets a dose of strong medicine.
There is an emphasis on fun and a lot of exposition at the beginning of the episode.
